If it continued… (Man City v Chelsea)
After a full week of medical staff controversy, Chelsea lost 3-0 to Man City in a match that had them on their heels from the opening seconds. The result marked the first time since 1998 that Chelsea failed to two either of their first two Premier League matches of the season and emphasized the club’s need for further investment.
Still, Jose Mourinho insisted that Chelsea were the better team in the second half, despite conceding twice in the final 11 minutes after a Ramires goal was wrongly disallowed for offside. “The best team in the first half won the game. The best team in the second half was Chelsea, for sure. We had a difficult first half. We didn’t create a lot and our goalkeeper made a few important saves. If the 1-0 was a doubtful result at minute 70, 3-0 is completely fake,” he said.
So if this result was “fake,” we have an obligation to ask “What if it continued?”

Santos’ Ricardo Oliveira somehow hits the crossbar from point-blank range
Santos’ 35-year-old striker Ricardo Oliveira is leading the Brazilian top flight in goals this season, and yet, he still managed a truly remarkable miss.
In what would be a scoreless draw with Atletico Paranaense, Oliveira had one attempt saved, setting him up for a golden second chance with the keeper on the ground. And even though he was only a couple of feet away from the net, Oliveira launched the ball up off the crossbar and back towards midfield.

Lionel Messi certain to demand transfer after Barca lose 4-0 in Spanish Super Cup
Barcelona conceded four goals in the second consecutive match to lose the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup 4-0 to Athletic Bilbao.

Jose Mourinho refuses to apologize for the media’s singling out of Eva Carneiro
Jose Mourinho flipped out when physiotherapist Jon Fearn and first team doctor/assistant medical director Eva Carneiro ran onto the pitch late in Chelsea’s 2-2 home draw with Swansea in their season opener to treat Eden Hazard. Mourinho thought they were impulsively costing the team another player as Chelsea desperately sought a winning goal despite playing with 10 men, since Hazard would have to leave the pitch to be treated once they emerged.
